Hive Update

Mission aborted (!!)

The hive is bigger than we thought.  Hubby gave up at my urging because neither of us thinks he can actually eliminate the hive with a couple of cans of hornet spray.

Keeping the bee suit though.  Never know when it comes in handy -- even if it's for a costume party ;)

Calling in the professionals today.  Hopefully, they have appointment availability ASAP.  The hornets are starting to buzz us when we go outside.  Looks like we'll be harnessing the dogs and taking them out front this week.

My hormones are full swing -- monthly probably within a week.  Crappy timing for the trip to Asheville with my aunt.  My energy is tanked.  Good news is after picking up Polly today (4 hours plus), I'll be able to do NOTHING should I feel like it.  Tomorrow isn't a big day either.  Packing and a couple of errands.

Weather looks good for Asheville though -- much cooler with highs in the 70s.  I'm nervous about traveling with my aunt and I shouldn't be.  Delta has me "fearing" even vaccinated people -- including my kids.  Anyone who is going out in Joe Public and not masking.  That's almost everyone. 

I'm going to take all the precautions I need to take, regardless of being afraid so there's no point in being afraid.  Fear is an emotion I can do without -- it doesn't change anything for me.  It's hard to let it go though.

I'm going to Asheville and I'm taking precautions.  I can be afraid and damper the fun OR I can choose to trust what I'm doing and enjoy myself.  Neither effects my ACTUAL safety.  The choice is mine.

I have this trip to Asheville and the family wedding in Buffalo and that's all I'm committed to and I have no plans to add anything else right now (except Asheville weekends with hubby).  I'm back to QuaranTina.  And don't get me started on the wedding -- good lord, I'm a nervous wreck.  I'm ready to hit isolation for a bit again.  Maslow's Law -- SAFETY and SECURITY needs first.

I made the 7 day cookie dough after a catastrophic failure that required me to dump everything (thankfully, I hadn't added the chips).  I poured the wrong bowl and initially mixed the flour rather than the sugar mixture.  Good lord.  Steak dinner was good too.  Pesto, steak, roasted potatoes with onions and arugula salad with farmer stand veggies and homemade dressing. 

I'm going to go work on my thinking.  This should be a fun week and all I can think is I can't wait until it's over.   Let's have a good one.  Later gators.
